So far, I have almost 30 blocks sewn for my Farmers Wife Quilt, but not all of those are getting used.

Block 2 – Autumn Tints
The autumn tints block is one of the easiest blocks in the entire quilt. No diagonal cutting or sewing, and only two different shapes to cut out and piece.
Block 3 – Basket
